Installing a Theme

For installing a theme you just need to copy it to the themes/ folder. Create the themes/ folder if it does not already exist.

project
├── assets
├── models
├── content
...
└── themes
    └── lektor-theme-nix

Themes are normally distributed by public Git repositories, so you could install a theme by cloning the repo:

cd themes
git clone URL_TO_THEME_REPO

For example, for installing lektor-theme-nix:

cd themes
git clone https://github.com/rlaverde/lektor-theme-nix.git

If you download several themes, setting themes variable will allow you to only load a particular theme.

You could add the themes variable to the .lektorproject file and Lektor will search in the community themes and automatically install it.

[project]
themes = lektor-theme-nix

Installing Multiple Themes

Lektor also supports installing several themes. Copy them to the themes/ folder, and set the themes variable to indicate the precedence (optional).

project
├── assets
├── models
├── content
...
└── themes
    ├── lektor-theme-other-theme/
    └── lektor-theme-nix/

[project]
themes = lektor-theme-nix, lektor-theme-other-theme

This will make lektor-theme-nix, because it's listed first, have a higher precedence. Files present in multiple themes will be loaded from right to left, so that the first (left-most) theme is preferred over the theme(s) to its right.
